New force powers
Is there any possibility of adding new force powers? Kind of like an expansion of RPMod?

Re: New force powers
I know Moviebattles 2 added in force Destruction, Blinding, and Deadly sight, but those required an overwrite of some existing powers.

Re: New force powers
Don't quote me on this but I'm fairly certain no.
Or it was a case of it requiring animations or something or other. I'm sure this has been raised a number of times in the past but I forget the specifics. As always though, Soh will let us know when he gets home.
What kind of abilities did you have in mind? Out of curiosity?

Re: New force powers
I hadn't really had any specific thought in mind. Just thinking it would be neat to have some different elements of force powers that no one has seen before! Aside from the current elements of JEDI that no one has seen before

Re: New force powers
I was just thinking, I'm not sure how possible this would be but I'd love to see a way to quickly recover Force points. Like say if it were to be an ability, using the animation of kneeling in meditation and adding an aura around the player like you might when using Force heal so that there's a light blue around the individual, placing themselves in meditation in order to recover stamina/concentration etc. That would technically not need to have other animations in as it would use the animations already in our ::JEDI:: Anim' Pack.
Only issue is that it would need to be an expensive ability (xp wise) so that it's not overly used, it would need to be used realistically like say in training rather than in an event (action sequence), or perhaps played out when travelling between locations, eg. On the way to a mission or between mission sequences.
Again, it would have to be realistically used In-Character and not over played but I guess that comes down to a player preference.
Edit: This might also cover the whole AFK discussion we had about having another icon to display people away, an ability like this would possibly take the full concentration of the character so doing this with the chat icon up, could give a better impression for others to tell whether they're at their PC or not.

Re: New force powers
Yes, you can add and/or replace Force powers. The only problem is that in doing so you loose "base compatibility" which in the past is something that Soh didn't seem too interesting in giving up.

Re: New force powers
I liked the idea Kieran was saying, I remember in SP heal 1 required kneeling down to use it and I think it was that OJP mod where meditating regenerated force points quicker? I'm not sure.

Re: New force powers
The idea of your regen rate increasing while meditating holds a fair amount of appeal... Otherwise the only thing i can think of would be some tweaking to the 'Dark' powers to make them more 'Jedi friendly.' Adding new powers, as far as i'm aware, removes base compatibility which is something Soh has always aimed to maintain.

Well, Force Meld can be used on the go, meditation less so.Oberon wrote:And also destroys the idea of Force Meld.Azrael wrote:The idea of your regen rate increasing while meditating holds a fair amount of appeal...
You could still expect someone to roleplay the extra focus when they just suddenly sit down, as to prevent random use.
I believe it would enhance the idea of meditating after or before an exercise, more so for the newer students.

Re: New force powers
I'd imagine it'd be no different from "Heal" and "Heal others". Not everyone would be having this skill, perhaps it would be an 'advanced skill' but either way, I can see Meld still very needed for Initiates and Padawan.Oberon wrote:And also destroys the idea of Force Meld.Azrael wrote:The idea of your regen rate increasing while meditating holds a fair amount of appeal...
On a side note, I also like the idea of how well this might be used in Character between a Master and Padawan, or players meditating together.

Re: New force powers
Hmm...
Would be interesting if the Force system was entirely reworked. Say there was no passive regen AT ALL or maybe very, very slow (like 1fp a minute). Force powers could cost less to activate or run. One system could spawn players in with zero FP. So when you spawn in you have to do something to appreciate those FP. Meditation... sitting and chatting... whatever you have to do. OR another system could spawn players with it full and that would practically be your stamina for the day, until you revitalized yourself or someone did that for you.

Re: New force powers
It would enforce a more practical approach to missions, considering you don't exactly get time to meditate when on business outside of the Enclave or in a fight lol.
It would be an interesting system, yes... but perhaps one that would be hard for most to adjust to.
